the punishment
Mia's POV
Derrick threw me onto the floor of the dungeon and re-tied my arms to the chains. Grabbing my hair he kissed me and forced his tongue into my mouth before standing up and leaving with a stupid grin on his face.
"Mia..." Michael coughed and I saw blood drip from his mouth. His jaw was purple and looked broken.
"Oh god Michael I'm so sorry." I cried.
"Wasn't your fault. You weren't to know that Dalton would do this." He reassured me.
"No it was my fault. I didn't listen to him. I refused and he said he'd punish me for it. I thought he meant lashes. I didn't know he was going to hurt you instead." I tried to move closer to him as best I could.
"Hey I'm ok I'm a vampire remember. I'll heal eventually." Michael moved to me as well and I saw him wince and noticed his ribs were broken and bruised too.
"They are slowing your healing process with that injection. It could be ages until it heals." I pointed out.
"Maybe so but I'll still heal." Michael chuckled and then winced. "So what did the devil want anyway?"
"Same as usual. He wanted his obedient slut back and of course I refused. At first he hurt me but he decided that hurting you was the best way to get me to obey. He was right. I'm sorry Michael I never meant to hurt you I should have just obeyed him."
"Don't ever say that Mia I will gladly take any beatings if it means he can't get his grubby hands on you. No matter what you keep fighting ok? Promise me." Michael said and I nodded.
"I promise Michael I'll always fight for us." I will never loose hope that one day we will get out of here.
Dalton's POV
I couldn't do anything but watch as my own hands punched and hurt the person I considered to be my brother. I didn't know what to do or how I could help.
I could hear her in my head. Mia. She was screaming and crying for help and yet I could do nothing. I tried to fight it but I couldn't. All I could do was watch.
Just then the door opened and Claire walked in. Her hand on my shoulder and she whispered something in my ear and I stopped hitting Michael. She took my hand and led me back upstairs to her room.
I hated the sight of her but I couldn't leave. I couldn't move. All I could do was watch as she dragged her claws over my chest. I wanted nothing more than to headbutt her but instead I felt myself kissing her and moving back against the bed pulling her with me.
I zoned out not wanting to be conscious for this. Everyday she would look at me and her eyes would turn purple for a second and I found myself doing exactly what she or Derrick said. I hated that I had hurt Mia and Michael.
I didn't mean to give us up to the police. I don't even know what happened. It was her fault.
That night after dinner I had gone outside to calm down after the fight and she was there. She flashed her eyes at me and they were purple. I remember feeling scared and then when we went back inside I said good night to her and she left. I went upstairs and when I got there she was in my room.
She told me to take down the shield and I wanted to say no but I felt myself doing it. Just then they appeared. Everyone was here and I heard the others scream and then it was silent.
Derrick had walked out with Mia over his shoulder and looked at me.
"What about him?" Derrick sneered and pointed at me.
"He could come in handy with torturing the traitor. Besides its not like he could break away from my mind control. Isn't that why you hired me?"
"True. Just get the kid to carry the traitor back to the castle." Derrick sneered and left.
I looked over at the bitch next to me who was now asleep. I needed to find away out of this. I don't know how much longer I can handle hurting my family. I was the one who saved them last time and I will do it again.
No matter what it takes I will get them out of here. Even if I have to die trying.
